Auditions for Spring Theatre Production of “Into the Woods” to be held Jan. 29 and 30

Event Date(s):

Cazenovia College will be holding auditions for its spring musical "Into the Woods" on Thursday, January 29 at 6:30 p.m. and Friday, January 30 at 7 p.m. at The Catherine Cummings Theatre on Lincklaen Street in Cazenovia. Callbacks will be Saturday, January 31 at 2 p.m.

According to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Woods), “the musical is tied together by an original story involving a childless baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family, their interaction with a witch who has placed a curse on them, and their interaction with other storybook characters during their journey.”

Director David Lowenstein, artist in residence at Cazenovia College points out that the musical is written in a classical style so he is looking for actors and singers (Sopranos, Mezzo Sopranos, Alto/Belters, Tenors, Baritones, and Basses) of all shapes, sizes, and ethnic backgrounds. “The recent film version follows fairly closely to the stage version so it is a good reference for the show, although I am hoping to cast Little Red and Jack as college students,” adds Lowenstein.

ALL (STUDENTS, EMPLOYEES and MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY) ARE WELCOME TO AUDITION JAN. 29 and/or JAN. 30.

THE SHOW CAN BE DONE MANY WAYS WITH A VARYING NUMBER IN THE CAST. THUS, THE SIZE OF THE CAST WILL BE DETERMINED BY THOSE WHO AUDITION.

PLEASE PREPARE A SHORT SONG THAT SHOWS OFF YOUR VOICE. THE SONG DOES NOT HAVE TO BE MEMORIZED AND CAN BE SUNG ACCAPELLA (WITHOUT ACCOMPANIMENT).

Performance dates for “Into the Woods” are APRIL 24, 25, 26, and MAY 1, 2, 3. Friday and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.

Lowenstein is excited about the spring production. “This is going to be a great show and an amazing opportunity to learn and work on a challenging and masterful work from our greatest living theater composer – Stephen Sondheim.”
